I saw this recipe on Pinterest the other day and couldn’t wait to try it. Homemade Veggie Nuggets!
That looks neat, right? Vegetarian chicken nuggets! And the ingredient list really was simple: Carrots, parsnips, potato, broccoli – and then some oil, egg and breadcrumbs.
The reality:
So, mine is a different color… I can work with that… but it was also a totally different texture… well, let’s try it anyway, so what if the cookie cutter didn’t work and I pulled out the melon baller… It could still work!
Yeah. No.
Did That Just Happen Blog 
Look at you! Actually doing the things you pinned on Pinterest. I didn’t think anyone did that 😉
hahahahaha! Yes, I’m the weird one that actually does the stuff she pins!!
Haha… ‘Pinterest fail’! I have so many of such moments! It was a good attempt! I like the colour too 🙂
It really was tasty, too – it just didn’t hold up at all! It was a goopy mess! LOL.
Looks so good, Kate. If only I had a kitchen. 😕
LOL!! I’m sure the time will fly by as y’all get it finished up 🙂
I hate when that happens! Especially if it’s something I have made before, and it turned out just fine before.
Oh yeah, that is the worst!!
What did it taste like Kate? I’m so glad I’m not the only one who ends with the finished product looking different 😉 x
It tasted great!! It was a great combination of vegetables… but of course, you know me, so I hadn’t followed the recipe “exactly”… LOL
Wonderful recipe, I’m going to give it a try here at the end of the week.
Oh cool! You’ll have to let me know how it goes!! It was one of my better failures! LOL
Love it! Seriously lol’d
Hehehehe – I’m so glad!!
Oh dear. 😀
yeah, that is pretty much at the top of my epic fail list! but it makes me laugh every time I think of it!
Hahahahahaha oooops!! xxx
Yeah, oooops, that’s one way to describe it!! 😀 It was such a failure I have to laugh!
That’s what they would look like if I had made them too, and that is with following the directions. Really bad things happen when I don’t stick to a recipe. hahaha Great job tho! I would have wanted to make those too. If you can’t pull it off, I am not even going to try!! hahaha Thanks for sharing.
LOL! We all know that I can usually pull something out of my hat and make a recipe salvage-able, but not this time! That recipe was not friendly to modifications!! 😉
Ok, but what did they taste like? At least you tried! I look at recipes on Pinterest and think yum! Quickly followed by umm, no. I have zero cooking skills.
LOL, If they had held together, they would have tasted great… but as it was, they were a gloopy mess!
You win some, and you lose some. I’ve had veggie chicken nuggets before – bought them. They were pretty good.
Anyway, better luck next time.
I love all of the Morning Star products and have had their chicken nuggets, too – but I trying not to eat processed food, nothing that comes out of a box or a can (except pasta, I am not making my own pasta! LOL), so I thought these would be fun… yeah, not so much!! 🙂
You are strict!
Oh dear … Laughing so hard I have to go ….
hehehehehehe. They were an epic failure, it was kinda awesome!
OMG how sad! They must have written the recipe wrong or something cause that looks like baby poo! I was super excited to try these too, haha, thanks for saving me some time ;-P
Oh, how I wish I was as wonderful as you just made me out to be… but I am 100% positive I did something wrong! LOL. You know me, I’m like, eh, it’s close, let’s try it! I subbed parsnips for the carrots and used a white potato instead of red… I couldn’t imagine that making a difference, but it very well might have! … yeah, I won’t be making them again! LOL
Hey – I need a baby update, what’s up? Are they cooking along just fine? How are you feeling? Are you past the sleepy stage?
Hahahahaha did they taste ok?
They tasted great! It was a good mix of veggies… but even after spending time in the freezer, they didn’t firm up… like at all. I scooped up a glob and still tried to bread it, thinking that maybe once it was in the hot oil it would hold together… nope, I had a mess in my frying skillet instead!!
I was like yes…awesome…oh…nooooooo.
I laughed. I cried. I didn’t save the recipe for said nuggets. Thank you for helpnig me learn through you 🙂
LOL, it is my pleasure to always share my knowledge so every can learn – and laugh!! 😀
The Pinterest shot caught my interest . . . not sure that your pan of green waffle batter would have drawn me in.
Veggie Muffins to the rescue!
LOL! I did save the “mush” to re-purpose, because it did taste great – there was just no way to fry it up and eat it!!
Oh, I loved this. That green color is awesome. You make me feel so much better about my own kitchen failures (which, unlike you, I keep private, not public 🙂 )
LOL! I almost didn’t take a picture, but after I kept wishing past the wish and hoping beyond hope, I realized that it was a EPIC failure and while it tasted good, there was no way it could be eaten except with a spoon! LOL. Fortunately, I had already decided that mac ‘n cheese would make a great side dish, so I had whipped up a roux and made homemade while I was attempting to fry those “nuggets” up, so at least I didn’t starve! 🙂
Seriously, Kate, mac and cheese is the best plan B for every situation!!
Oh , I needed this lol today, Kate!
(Looks like most of my “special” trials)
LOL, it was one of my better failures! I still have no clue what I did wrong, except as usual, I didn’t “exactly” follow the recipe!
